Carolina Panthers
Definition
The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, competing in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) South division.
Founded in 1995 as an expansion team, the Panthers have a fierce black-and-teal identity inspired by the region's wildlife and history, though their on-field results have often prowled more like house cats than apex predators.
